The LUNA Moon Rocket

The camera operator in Houston managed to follow astronaut John Young with the television camera on the LRV. Young can be seen moving around the rock to take photos, then bending down briefly to pick up the rock, which will be called 60025, and then making a few lunges to keep his balance.

Even though the equipment on the moon is only a sixth of the weight it is on Earth, it still has the same mass and makes it correspondingly difficult to maintain balance, as the astronaut himself is only a sixth of his usual weight on Earth.
